The single "Scatman John"
was the track that propelled him to chart success in the summer of 1995.The verse from the song were addressed to people who have the same issue(stutters) and not only:
"Everybody stutters one way or the other so check out my message to you.
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back if the
Scatman can do it....so can you."
Some of the lyrics were taken from his 1986 album.
The video was shot in black and white featuring a fractured screen with several boxes showing shots of John singing along with various random people dancing, miming and playing drums. This was played in heavy rotation on music channels in 95 and still is this days . He also performed the song live on BBCs Top Of The Pops show and Mtvs Most Wanted with Ray Cokes.
"Scatman" has been used in the films "Nothing To Lose" starring Tim Robbins & "BASEketball" starring Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
